Reznikoff, The Jews of Charleston, Philadelphia, 1950, pp. 143-144) Jacob Rosenfeld, a recent immigrant, served as the reader of the congregation and was also able to deliver sermons in English which were much admired (Resnikoff, op. cit., p. 144) English, with some Hebrew phrases: Roman cursive and Modern semi-square hands.
